Brandon LaFell

Of course we're jumping ahead of ourselves here, but the former UCF receiver did sign a contract with the New England Patriots Monday, according to a source. Worton is currently in Massachusetts working out with the Patriots' practice squad after his contract with the St. Louis Rams expired.

The Patriots, seeded No. 2 in the AFC, will host No. 5 Kansas City Saturday at 4:35 p.m. and CBS will broadcast the contest.

New England was one of a handful of teams who originally expressed interest in Worton shortly after his doctor cleared him to compete again following a 2014 knee injury.
